AFTER learning via social media that nudity had been observed during a Pride event, King Lawal, above, tweeted his displeasure over “sinful” and “illegal” activity.
As a consequence the 31-year-old got himself suspended earlier this month from his role of Conservative party councillor in Wellingborough, Northamptonshire, and is now making suing noises, claiming his “life has been torn apart.”
And there to support his impending lawsuit is the Christian Legal Centre, an arm of anti-LGBT+ outfit, Christian Concern, which reported yesterday that Lawal had been cancelled by seven organisations, and is currently under investigation by the Tory party.
CC said:
The repercussions faced by Cllr Lawal are unprecedented, demonstrating that Christians who hold public office can no longer express their beliefs without having their careers and lives dismantled.
It added:
Disturbed by the illegal activity he witnessed going unchecked by authorities, he believed he had to speak out, especially as the events were being witnessed by children.
As a Bible-believing Christian he believed what was happening was wrong and ‘sinful’ and asked on Twitter:
When did Pride become a thing to celebrate. Because of Pride Satan fell as an arch Angel. Pride is not a virtue but a Sin. Those who have Pride should Repent of their sins and return to Jesus Christ. He can save you.
On the same day as he posted the tweet he was contacted by the leader of North Northamptonshire Unitary Council who told him that he was suspended for 21 days pending an investigation.
He was then dismissed as a trustee of Groundwork Northampton, an initiative which helps disadvantaged children access green spaces. In the dismissal letter from the CEO, he was told:
Given your activity on twitter today and the views you have put across regarding the Pride movement and Homosexuality I’m afraid I need to ask you to leave your position as a Trustee for Groundwork Northamptonshire with immediate effect.
He was also suspended as an Academy Council member for Weavers Academy, a school for 11–18 year olds. He was told:
I have been made aware of your recent tweet. The views you have espouse are not consistent with the values of our Academy Council nor Weavers academy. Having discussed this with the Headteacher, I have decided to suspend your membership of the Academy Council, pending further discussions with Creative Trust.
He was then removed as a Governor of Northampton Healthcare Foundation Trust and thenbanned from holding a joint Police and Council surgery in the local Rushden & Irthlingborough LibraryPlus.
Speaking for the first time following his “ordeal”, Cllr Lawal said:
It is now almost impossible to say something biblically truthful on sexual ethics in UK society without being cancelled and having your life ruined.
Deranged hatemonger Andrea Minichiello Williams, above, Chief Executive of the Christian Legal Centre, said:
What has happened to Cllr Lawal has been brutal and is a clear case of viewpoint discrimination against a standard expression of Christian belief.
On Monday Lawal told his tale of woe on conspiracy theory-touting outlet GB News.
He was interviewed by recently-knighted far-right “tradionalist” Catholic MP Jacob Rees-Mogg and multi-millionaire who has been described as an “unrelenting reactionary”.
For the record, GB News is itself being investigated for two breaches of Ofcom’s broadcasting rules. Reports here and here.
